Chapter 9

Ally’s entire body was drenched in sweat. As she pushed the motorcycle to go faster she was well aware that her lack of skill would likely lead to a disaster. But more frightening than the thought of colliding with something at eighty miles an hour, was the unknown figure that chased after her in his car. What would he do to her if he caught her? He’d already tried to run her off the road. If he was that reckless and that determined she guessed he wouldn’t hesitate to kill her if he had the chance.

When she first heard the sirens, she realized that the police had joined in on the chase. Then she considered pulling off to the side of the road and telling them everything. But what could she tell them? Would they believe her that she was being chased by a complete stranger? Would they think she was the one who had instigated the problem by breaking into the cabin and withholding the keys? Her stomach churned at the thought. Still, she knew it was the right thing to do. She had started to slow down to pull off to the side of the road. But the moment she did, the driver behind her gunned the engine. He came so close to the rear wheel of the motorcycle that she was sure he’d bump into it. She pulled away as fast as she could. She was stuck. If she slowed down even a little bit the car behind her would ram her. But she knew she wouldn’t be able to keep up the chase forever.

It wasn’t until Ally heard the collision behind her that she realized that someone had come to her rescue. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw the car behind her being hit. She only caught a brief glimpse of the vehicle that had collided with it. It looked like a van. Still frightened, she’d continued on for a short while longer, before she eased the motorcycle to a stop. Ally’s entire body continued to vibrate, filled with adrenaline and from the movement of the motorcycle. It was as if she was still riding the bike. She could see the police cars surround the first car, the one that had been following her. Then her eyes settled on the van that had crashed into it, and shock caused her mouth to hang wide open. She recognized it as the van from the shop. The van her grandmother had been driving.

“Mee-Maw! No! Mee-Maw!” She rushed forward in an attempt to get to the van, but before she could get far, strong arms grabbed hers and held her back. She fought at first, uncertain of who it was that restrained her.

“Calm down or I will cuff you.” The authoritative voice barked beside her ear. She closed her eyes as hot tears slipped down her cheeks. It was one of the local officers, and there was no question that he was not going to let her go.
